With medical and recreational marijuana making high strides in several states, we believe it is time to put this specific topic on the table as well: Veterans and Soldiers across the country could benefit from the medical treatments cannabis has to offer.
Studies have shown that medical marijuana can, and has, helped treat PTSD, from which thousands of active, and retired, soldiers are suffering from. This is only the tip of the medical issues the armed services have to face. (Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Depression, Insomnia etc.)
The pharmaceuticals prescribed to these individuals usually come with a list of dangerous side effects, and a handful of other drugs to treat those side effects. A majority of these drugs lead to dependency and addiction, leading to expensive rehabilitation.
